Custom screen printed gear for Downing businesses, schools, teams, churches, and crews. Proofs in 24 hours, delivered in 5 to 7 days.
Downing crews order screen printed gear from us because the numbers are public and the process is simple: free design help, a written proof within 24 hours, and delivery to any Downing address in 5 to 7 business days.
With a community of 300 spread over 0.7 square miles, Downing gets the same flat delivery promise as everywhere else we serve: 5 to 7 business days to any door. The same run covers the neighboring communities too: Lancaster, MO (9 mi), Memphis, MO (11 mi), Glenwood, MO (11 mi) all order from the same shop at the same published pricing. For the military community, Camp Dodge sits about 109 miles away, well inside our normal unit-order routes.
Nothing here needs a storefront. Art goes in by phone or upload, a designer proofs it free, and the shipment lands in Downing counted against your roster.
Screen Printing demand around Downing does not stop at the town line. Crews from Lancaster (9 miles out) order through the same process, which is why coverage is priced by pack, never by zip code.
Fundraiser tees where the committee knows its margin up front, because every pack price is public. Deadlines get treated like formation times, not suggestions.
Mixed youth and adult sizes in one run at one pack price. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Anniversary shirts with the type and insignia matched to the era they honor. We handle the art, the sizing spread, and the deadline. You handle handing them out.
When the count is high and the budget is fixed, light blanks and one-color prints deliver. Bring a rough idea, even a phone photo of a whiteboard, and our designers make it print ready at no charge.
Formation-wide runs are the bread and butter: single design, mixed sizes, pack rates that reward volume. If a design will not print well at the size you want, you hear that before money changes hands.
Everyday workwear printed to survive the job site, the shop floor, and the industrial washer. The second order takes two minutes because the first one is archived down to the thread color.
Serving the military community is not a marketing line here, it is the operating system. Downing customers deal with one accountable person, get dates that mean something, and receive work held to a uniform standard.
Part of the job is refusing bad orders. When the art, the garment, or the date is wrong, saying so before you pay is the service.
The Design Lab puts your art on the real garment, takes your size counts, and totals the whole order, shipping included, without asking who you are.
The right blank depends on budget, season, and how hard the gear will be worn. For Downing customers, these three earn their keep.
For big front art, nothing beats this 8.0oz crew with its uninterrupted printing field. Mixed sizes and colors in one run are standard here, not a special request.
Big-run economics start here: light ringspun cotton from $12 at volume, with the front print already in the price. Ask for the honest option and you get it, even when it is the cheaper one.
Eighty-plus colors of 5.3oz heavy cotton, from military green to every heather, that keeps its shape through the laundry years. One point of contact owns your order from first proof to delivery confirmation.
Design help is not an upsell here, it is how orders start. Describe the concept in a sentence, attach whatever reference you have, and within 24 hours a real designer returns a proof drawn as clean vectors, era-correct where it matters. Revisions cost nothing and continue until the proof is right, and your written approval is the only thing that sends it to production.
The Design Lab is there when you want to drive: upload, place, and price the design yourself on the exact garment we print.

Send the idea through the quote form or build it yourself in the Design Lab. A napkin sketch photographed on a phone counts, our designers have built full unit runs from less.
